Comments on: Another Preseason Bites the Dust http://real.theoffside.com/team-news/another-preseason-bites-the-dust.html News from Real Madrid Spanish football team Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:35:59 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: losblancos http://real.theoffside.com/team-news/another-preseason-bites-the-dust.html#comment-7176 losblancos Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:55:36 +0000 http://real.theoffside.com/team-news/another-preseason-bites-the-dust.html#comment-7176 there was one instance in the game which scared the shit out of me. Don't remember the exact min. In the first half, someone played a through ball to RVN, and he just couldn't hold off the defender- no pace, no physical strength. The defender out ran him and took the ball from him - that was sickening. It reminded me of the CL game Juventus where Nedved out ran Hierro and put a expiry date on him. I hope everyone saw that, and understands Schuster's needs of a young striker. there was one instance in the game which scared the shit out of me. Don’t remember the exact min.

We were pretty poor in the first half. VDV looked good with some nice passes and shooting. But with a midfield of Diarra, Guti, VDV and Robben, who did Schuster expect to win the ball and break-up play? Diarra alone is not enough. We all know how well Guti tracks back, he is plain lazy sometimes. Pepe looked solid. Ramos was a bit erratic though understandable. I'm scared for Torres, he really hasn't improved since he came into the first team. He looked very nervous, and had nothing going forward, and was beaten quite frequently on the left. Robinho seriously needs some shooting practice. His shots from outside the box are so terrible (that backpost attempt was decent). any idea why he has absolutely no power? watched the friendly.

Unfortunately, we are going nowhere in the Champions League if we don't bring in VILLA and get those ancient slow pokes Raul and Ruud out of the starting eleven.
